Wo Shentao’s face darkened at the sight.

“Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit,” Wo Shentao said coldly.

Liang Song glanced at him disdainfully, as if to ask: So what?

“Good, you’re brave!”

Infuriated, Wo Shentao laughed sarcastically and returned to his original seat.

“This is getting troublesome, I need to find a way to shake them off,” Liang Song thought to himself.

Though the city is tightly controlled, if the other side is willing to spend enough, they could communicate with the Juedi Sect, and if the price is high enough, the Juedi Sect might even personally catch him.

However, as long as he can shake off their tracking and hide among ordinary people, even the Juedi Sect won’t be able to search for him openly.

After all, Bafang City isn’t dominated by just the Juedi Sect; a citywide search requires coordination with the four major powers.

Even though the Senluo Temple is wealthy, they wouldn’t spend so much just to deal with him.

Yongkang observed Wo Shentao’s grim expression and understood that the other party was unwilling to cooperate.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “Should we directly contact people from the four major powers, pay a price, and seek their convenience?”

If it were possible, they didn’t want to take this step.

To gain favor from the four major powers requires a hefty price.

“Hmm.”

“However, this was caused by Ge Bing. Inform Ge Wuning of everything and let him decide. He alone must bear the cost,” Wo Shentao said.

Though he was also a member of the Senluo Temple, when benefits were involved, Wo Shentao didn’t want to get involved with Ge Bing and Ge Wuning’s affairs.

“Alright, I’ll head back,” Yongkang nodded, stood up, and left immediately.

He wasn’t skilled in Lightweight Skill and relied on Tracking Powder to find Liang Song, otherwise, he wouldn’t have found him at all.

The task of tracking could only be entrusted to Wo Shentao, who practiced Leg Skill. Although it was only a secondary practice, it was far superior to ordinary Martial Artists in Qi Blood Three Transformations.

After Yongkang left, Liang Song finished drinking the remaining alcohol and got up to leave as well.

He glanced at Wo Shentao, who had been trailing him all along, and frowned slightly.

This person was more troublesome than that last one.

The previous person wasn’t fast and relied on tracking powder to locate him.

The tracking powder used by the other party was quite rare, and Liang Song tried various methods but couldn’t remove it, hence today’s situation of being cornered at the Tianxiang Tower.

“Alas, an impulsive moment has led to this bitter result.”

“I, Liang Song, who have endured for over a decade, was so close to success, yet almost ruined everything due to a moment’s impulsiveness.”

Liang Song shook his head and sighed slightly.

Yet his face showed little worry.

Liang Song slowly strolled through the bustling marketplace, spending over two hours “playing” with Wo Shentao before arriving at a tall mansion.

The plaque hanging above the mansion read “Ya Mansion.”

“The Ya Mansion?”

“What’s this guy’s relationship with the Ya Army?”

Wo Shentao frowned, surprised that Liang Song had walked into the Ya Mansion.

The Ya Army was known as a formidable force in Bafang City. However, he hadn’t established any power, and his family had only him being relatively strong, while the younger generation hadn’t matured yet.

…

…

Lin Zheyu had no idea that Liang Song was in Bafang City.

At this moment, he was holding a Golden Scale Blade, deep in the mountains and forests.

“Xiaohei~~”

Lin Zheyu called out loudly, his voice echoing through the forest.

Although Xiaohei wasn’t very strong, it was quite amusing, and if he could tame it, it might be of great help in hunting.

It could also help relieve his boredom.

“Not here, can this little guy run so well?”

Lin Zheyu flicked the beetle in his hand with a finger. The beetle, marked with black, yellow, and red spots on its back, buzzed and darted in another direction in the forest.

Lin Zheyu moved quickly, grabbed the beetle, and continued chasing in the previous direction.

The tracking powder on Xiaohei only left traces for about half an hour or so.

Yet, after entering the forest, Lin Zheyu searched several places and still couldn’t find any trace of Xiaohei.

Clearly, this little one was very adept at running, wandering everywhere without stopping.

“Xiaohei!”

Arriving at another place, Lin Zheyu called again, but still received no response.

He took out the beetle. It sniffed the air and flew off to the left.

Lin Zheyu caught it again and headed left.

After advancing less than three hundred meters, he caught a scent of burnt fur and a faint aroma of roasted meat.

Soon, he pinpointed the source of the scent.

In the distance, Xiaohei was watching a campfire intently, where a piece of fur-laden beast meat was grilling.

Xiaohei eyed the fire, sensing it was dying, it sprang into action to gather more wood to keep it going.

Lin Zheyu: “…”

Good heavens, this little thing even knows how to barbecue.

“Xiaohei!”

Lin Zheyu called softly.

Xiaohei, focused on the fire, paused for a moment, turned its small head, eyes seemingly lighting up.

Squeak—chirp chirp—

Xiaohei hopped around excitedly on the spot and rushed toward Lin Zheyu.

Halfway there, it scurried back.

With a swift motion, it plunged its claws into the fire again, ignoring the heat to grab the slightly charred meat and fling it afar.

Squeak squeak squeak—chirp—squeak squeak

Then Xiaohei pointed at the fire with its claws, then at its mouth, mimicking the actions Lin Zheyu taught it before.

Sometimes sitting, sometimes spinning in circles, sometimes mimicking a dog’s bark.
